Levitico 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 24:8

Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord
continually
That is, the priest or priests then ministering, who should bring new cakes and place them in the above order, having removed the old ones, which was done in this manner; four priests went in, two had in their hands the two rows (of bread), and two had in their hands two cups (of frankincense); four went before these, two to take away the two rows (of the old bread), and two to take away the two cups (of frankincense); and they that carried in stood in the north, and their faces to the south and they that brought out stood in the south, and their faces to the north; these drew away (the old bread) and they put them (the new), and the hand of the one was over against the hand of the other, as it is said, "before me continually", ( Exodus 25:30 ) ^F8; that is, at the same time the hands of the one were employed in taking away, the hands of the other were employed in setting on; so that there was always bread upon the table: [being taken] from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant;
God requiring it of them, and they agreeing to give it, as they did, either in meal or in money; for this was at the expense of the community.

Levitico 24:8 In-Context

6 Le metterai in due file, sei per fila, sulla tavola d’oro puro davanti all’Eterno.

7 E porrai dell’incenso puro sopra ogni fila, e sarà sul pane come una ricordanza, come un sacrifizio fatto mediante il fuoco all’Eterno.

8 Ogni giorno di sabato si disporranno i pani davanti all’Eterno, del continuo; saranno forniti dai figliuoli d’Israele; è un patto perpetuo.

9 I pani apparterranno ad Aaronne e ai suoi figliuoli, ed essi li mangeranno in luogo santo; poiché saranno per loro cosa santissima tra i sacrifizi fatti mediante il fuoco all’Eterno. E’ una legge perpetua".

10 Or il figliuolo di una donna israelita e di un Egiziano uscì tra i figliuoli d’Israele; e fra questo figliuolo della donna israelita e un Israelita nacque una lite.
